Ski Jumping

Ford Sayre has been supporting the sport of men’s and women’s ski jumping in the Upper Valley for decades! We’re looking forward to another great year on the hills!

We practice twice a week in the evenings at the jumping facility at Oak Hill in Hanover, NH. Our season starts in January and continues as weather permits, usually concluding the season in late February or early March. Our jumpers range in age and ability, with some jumping for the thrill of the flight, and others also wanting to compete. Our jumping community is known for having a warm, welcoming, and inclusive culture for athletes and their parents.

We invite proficient downhill skiers to try jumping during any of our practices, free of charge. Jumpers begin on their alpine skis and ski down our smallest landing hill, progressing at their own pace and eventually transitioning to jumping skis and larger hills. Jumping equipment is provided as part of the annual program fee (except for a helmet), which includes skis, boots and a jumping suit (if available). All jumpers receive close instruction and encouragement from our coaches, all of whom were accomplished jumpers, including Joe Holland of the Calgary and Albertville Olympic Teams.

The Ford Sayre jumping team competes against other ski jumping teams in the eastern region on weekends during the season. Competitions are encouraged and a lot of fun, but optional. Fees to participate in a meet are not included in the Ford Sayre registration fee and are approximately $20 per meet.

Helmets are mandatory.  Parent help on the hills is much needed and appreciated, especially after snow storms.
